Choose the correct answer for each question.
 

1. The slope of the graph is equal to
Force vs extension
Strain
Stress
Force constant
Young modulus
Tension

2. Which of the followings about the stress and the strain of a wire is correct?
(A = cross section area of the wire, e = extension, F = Tension, l = length of the wire)
Stress = F / A, Strain = l / e
Stress = F / A, Strain = e / l
Stress = e / l, Strain = F / A
Stress = l / e, Strain = A / F
Stress = A / F, Strain = l / e

3. Which of the following expressions is correct?
Young modulus = StressStrain
Strain = StressYoung modulus
Stress = StrainYoung modulus
Stress =Young modulus / Strain
Strain =Stress / Young modulus

4. If the length of a wire is doubled, with the same extension, the tension must be
one forth of the original one
half of the original one
same as before
twice of the original one
four times of the original one

5. Referring to Q4, if now the cross section area is doubled and the extension remains the same, then the force must be
one forth of the original one
half of the original one
same as before
twice the original one
four times of the original one

6. The area under the curve in the figure is
solid6.gif
the elastic potential energy stored in the stretched wire

7. The area under the curve in the figure is

8. Which of the followings about the Young moduli of copper, steel, and rubber is correct?
steel > copper > rubber
steel > rubber > copper
copper> steel > rubber
copper> rubber > steel
rubber > copper > steel

9. The figure shows the stress-strain curve of a material. (sigma.gif = stress, u = strain, P = proportional limit, L = elastic limit, Y = yield point, M = maximum stress, B = breaking point) Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Stress versus strain
In the region OP, the material obeys Hooke's law.
In the region OL, the material returns to the original state if the stress is removed.
In the region LY, the material undergoes elastic deformation.
A permanent deformation OO' remains if the stress is removed at point Y.
The length of YB reflects the ductility of the material.

N/m
N/m2
N m
m/N
m2/N
